A humorous fantasy adventure from the Godmother of fantasy, Diana Wynne Jones. Winner of the Mythopoeic Fantasy Award for Children's Literature in 1999.

A humorous fantasy from Diana Wynne Jones. In a world next door to ours, the tourist industry is devastating the population by its desire to experience all the fantasy cliches - Dark Lords, impoverished villages, dragons etc.

The Head of the University resolves to shut the tours down; the only problem being the ruthless tour-master - and his all-powerful demons. To save them all, the incompetent wizard Derk is appointed as Dark Lord in the hope that he will ruin the tours, and sure enough proceeds to fail at everything due to his general uselessness. But can failing at everything lead to a win this time?

The Dark Lord of Derkholm, a bestselling book by Diana Wynne Jones, is a testament to her prowess as a top author in children's fantasy fiction. The magic of her storytelling captivates the juvenile audience, making it a must-read for kids.

For fans of Katherine Rundell (The Explorer), Cornelia Funke (Inkspell), Joan Aiken (The Serial Garden), Susan Cooper (The Boggart Fights Back), and Robin Stevens (Death Sets Sail).
